A Friend of mine got an XRay today to determine if there was still a kidney stone. When the technician completed the Xray all that could see was bone and no soft tissue at all. This technician that did the Xray requested that another technician come in and show her how it is supposed to be done..She wanted to redo the Xray. Apparently, the Xray was done wrong and she did not give my friend any protective cover for any other body parts to avoid Xrays. The Xray machine appeared to be the old type. What are the chances that this Xray would cause DNA damage? When the doctor arrived he was informed of the error and he could not determine if there was a kidney stone or not..What a waste.

antidepressants take 2-5 weeks to work, but I've noticed that I've been on Lamictal for over a month and don't feel anything. What has been your experience with this drug?

I have been to the doctor several times in the past few years and they can never tell me why my inner ears itch so bad, especially at night, they say I have no infections and tell me not to use q tips or put anything in my ear at all to clean it, so I stopped doing that 3 years ago and they still itch like crazy. I've been told to use mineral oil to melt the possible packed in wax but not sure where to get it or what types are available for ears. Anyone have this issue?

I have been thinking about this and reading a lot about aging, and would like to know your views, please kindly take your time to reply on your deep thoughts to this.

They say, as you age, you get weaker (due to certain things in the body declining) and prone to illnesses. Does this mean, aging is a type of illness?

Could it be, that aging (when i say aging, i mean declining of the human body through time) be something we can cure?

What i mean to ask is, not that we could live forever, i mean is, are we doing something wrong here, that we wrinkle up, and hair turns white and skin becomes very pale from aging?

Maybe something wrong in our nutrition? our working methods? our thinking methods? (like positive thinkiing or negative thinking) ?? since they have said we only use a very small percentage of our minds, is there something undiscovered over here?

Example: i have seen weight trainers look 25 when they are really nearing 40 or 50!

I went to the ER today because i have been with diahreah for over almost 2 weeks. I haven't had fever, abdominal pain, even constipation pain, no swelling of anything, i just felt the diahreah coming as if it were any other diahreah (it just didn't hurt). im white caucasian of european descent and some part jewish, even though i think its around 1/4 or less. at the ER they told me that they didnt know what it was, but that it was probable that it was some kind of disease such as crohne's (im 16). The diarreah is mostly watery, no blood in it. What do you think? do you think i have it or i have something else?

There is a clinic in Russia called the Human Brain Institute that says they can help my vision. I have optic nerve atrophy and I am legally blind because of it. My vision is stable but will never change according to my opthomologist. The Human Brain Institue is located in Russia though and the treatment is for 1 or 2 weels depending on the case. It is only $500 for one week at the clinic though but add the cost of airfare and hotel stay then it could add up and not to mention the fact that the clinic doesn't have any English speaking staff available so one would have to speak Russian or hire an interpreter. Is there any other alternative for curing optic nerve atrophy? Would you trust a doctor in Russia that says they could help improve your vision if you have optic nerve atrophy? And if I did do it and went over there then what about the cost it would take on me if it didn't work. I know it all comes down to choice but is there anything that can be done besides this or should I go?

Well I had the MRI done it was very expensive but they said it was normal. now what... these symptoms are still present.. especially the slurred speech and weakness in my right hand. They tend to be aggitated by physical activity. This is a question off of the other about anxiety.
